Of particular note was DMC 4. After i bought the game i didn’t get a chance to play it right away since i was quite into COD 4 multi-player. But any way when i did get around and started playing the game i was surprised to see what a good game it was.

The general user interface was quite smooth with very little loading times, the only down side that the interface presented was the fact that you had to manually save every now and then otherwise face you face the option of loosing some really frustrating progress.

The game play it self is quite unique in that early on in the game your character does not really earn any new powers and has a very basic set of moves that can be chained together in some way or the other.While this is fine because you get used to it, i feel alot of people will end up dropping the once they reach the second character in the game.Without giving away to much , when playing with Dante ,its as if you are playing the original game i.e. you need to use Dante’s various styles. While the style are fun and interesting , they are alot harder to use in game than Nero’s powers.Also what many players will not notice is that you need to switch the styles rapidly in game and not just stick with one style as you will severely limit Dante’s potential.

All that said i feel that if the player gets through the high learning curve that comes with Dante they will really see the rewards that the game has to offer.Its just a pitty that it takes the game so long before they actually hook you into game.

The one point that the game sorely missed out on was the fact that if you give the player more they will always accept what you give.This is provided you are giving something worthwhile and not introducing problems.

Now if only i could get the time to finish this awesome game :)

First the new weapons are looking interesting ,i could not see exactly what was the names of the weapons but it seems there is a new pistol and a new rifle .The pistol brings a new move in where you are able to take a enemy hostage and use him a a body shield .If this came into the multiplayer section i can see some really interesting strats developing .The rifle did not seem very different to the normal gun-saw version except that it did not have full auto fire except that it seemed to shoot in busts which in itself is not to bad.

The other thing that was quite nice and noticeable was some thing that was talked about in the earlier developer vids is the inclusion of a higher number of enemies on screen at one time.I have to say what i saw in the mid as army of soldiers marched by and were slowly being picked of by the humans really looked awesome in terms of visuals.

I also see that they are using alot more open environments and with this bigger vehicles are being introduced .All this is a much welcome inclusion ,but from the point of a critic there is nothing really interesting being done here that was not already done in another game. While this is true ,from a technical perspective there is alot under the hood that is being done that the player will not notice. From the way they now handle water to the new dynamic lighting they  are supposed to use, it nothing fresh in terms of what we have not seen but rather its fresh in that is will make Gears alot nicer to play.

While i am going to have to wait till the game is released to see if it wil blow my mind away i can definitely from now that i will be getting it with out a doubt .
